Today I bring you a plate of golden brown, crunchy lentil filled sambusas and a spoonful of awaze sauce for dippin'. If you're unfamiliar with sambusas, they're very similar to Indian samosas (and if you're unfamiliar with samosas, that is very sad for you). They come filled with all manner of stuff from meat to lentils. I especially like to fill them with leftovers. Everyone likes leftovers when they're encased in a golden, crunchy dough, right?

Unlike my experience with most xgfx doughs, the dough encasing these sambusas is really easy to work with and is ultra forgiving. I've made these about 5 times now, and I like them more and more each time they come out of the oven. They're also quick, which is why I keep making them over and over again, when I have tons of other recipes that need attention.

Awaze is a spicy, tangy pepper sauce, which I've only been able to try in two restaurants before. Both were very different from each other. I like this style best. It's based off a smooth sauce that comes with an order of sambusa from Skyline Cafe, near parents' in Northern VA. It's basically berbere powder mixed with booze, lime juice and seasoning. Picture an Ethiopian style Korean BBQ sauce, if you must. Also, Skyline is sorta more of a bar/restaurant than a sweet cafe--be prepared for loud TV watching if you check it out.

Everything's better in golden, crunchy dough! Seriously, with my consistency issues, shells help me eat so much more than I'd be able to otherwise. It's dumb, but if I can't see it, and the shell soaks up a little of the extra goo, I can eat with the rest of the grown-ups.

These look awesome! I love the idea of using leftovers as filling- I always freeze stuff but then never eat it because we don't have a microwave and I'm too lazy to wait. So re-purposing them like this makes perfect sense!
